Published: ASIA
MALAYSIA: Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) has acquired three Auratus consoles from Salzbrenner Stagetec Mediagroup. Two of the consoles have been installed in the broadcaster’s main Kuala Lumpur studios, while the third is based in Kuching.
The sale represents the continuation of a long relationship between the broadcaster and Stagetec, with Aurus consoles having been installed in three of RTM’s sound control rooms as part of prior purchases in 2005 and 2008. All three Auratus mixers are operating in conjunction with Nexus routing systems.
RTM has also upgraded the audio technology of its most prominent auditorium, the 700-seat ‘Auditorium Perdana’ in Kuala Lumpur, which now boasts a Vivace room acoustics system alongside an Aurus console that was installed in 2008. The auditorium’s sound control room has also been upgraded with additional DSP-resources for its 48-fader Aurus desk plus Dolby-E decoder and encoder cards and HD-SDI cards for its Nexus routing system.
The deal has been described by David Chan, head of Salzbrenner Stagetec Mediagroup Malaysia, as ‘an overwhelming sign of trust for us. We are proud to hear that, with this installation, all the sound control rooms in the main broadcasting house will now rely on Mediagroup audio mixers and routers’.
